Question

Baseball statisticians studied how often triples (a certain event in a baseball game) occurred in professional games played between 1947 and 2017. A 98 percent confidence interval to estimate the slope of the linear regression line relating the year, x, and the mean number of triples per game, y, yielded (−0.006,−0.002). A check shows that the conditions necessary for inference for the slope of the regression line are met.

Based on the confidence interval, which of the following claims is supported?

The mean number of triples per game is between 0.002 and 0.006.

A
The number of triples per game has increased, on average, per year.

B
There is no linear relationship between the mean number of triples per game and year.

C
There is a negative linear relationship between the mean number of triples per game and year.

D
A conclusion cannot be made about the relationship between year and mean number of triples per game because the values are close to 0.

E

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
